Will this fit in a dell optiplex 390 sff?

you need to check with Dell to find out what processor will fit that motherboard.

Can I use it for hard gaming

depends what you mean for "hard gaming" I played Dark Souls 3 and Doom with this and no problems but Resident Evil 7 needs a little more.

Is this third or forth gen

no this is second gen 3000 and 4000 are 3rd and 4th generations of intel

Should i buy this over an i3 8350k 4 ghz

NO NO NO ., This is a 2nd gen CPU that fits a LGA1155 motherboard . 8350K is 8th gen CPU ( 8XXX) for 300 series motherboards . They are not interchangeable
